What is the fifth dimention? This is a problem I encountered randomly in the semi delirium of pre sleep. I have been thinking about it for several days, but I can't come up with a satisfactory answer. If you are not acquainted with the dimentions as I know them, then here they are: the first is a line, the second is a plane, and the third is space as we know it. The fourth is time, and I am pretty sure that the sixth is hyperspace, but I am not completely sure. For all I know it might be the fifth, and then I would have a puzzle about the sixth. A good friend of mine suggested that the fifth is gravity, which makes sense after a fashion, but it isn't as two dimentional as I would like it. (the fourth dimention seems to be equivalent in ways to the first, it is sort of a line, and the sixth, if it really is hyperspace, to the third, so it seems fitting that the fifth would have some correlation to the second, and would be rather two dimentional.) Jeremy suggested that the fifth and sixth dimentions were completely different: the first three are where, the fourth is when, so it would make sense if the fifth and sixth were, say, how and why.
To radically change the subject, I have realized that I have a total lack of common sense. I am very creative, I like to think of crazy things to do, but it is always Abraham or a friend of mine that actually figures out how to do it. I find this in contrast with the rest of my mentality: I love taking things that work badly and make them work better. (mechanical please. I can also do it to stories and music and computer programs, but mechanical is my favorite.)
I'll end with a joke: I borrowed Heisenberg's car, I looked at the speedometer, and got lost.
